Brain Awareness Week on Instagram

What did high school students in Uganda do to celebrate Brain Awareness Week five years ago? How about neuroscientists and students in the United Kingdom in 2009?

For the month leading up to this year’s campaign (March 11-17), we have been posting #FlashBackFriday pictures on the official Dana Foundation Instagram to give our followers a glimpse of past celebrations from around the world. Just last year alone, we had registered partners from 43 countries and six continents participate in activities about the brain and its importance.

If you want a closer look at how we’ve celebrated Brain Awareness Week in the past—and also want to stay up-to-date with how we’re celebrating this year—follow us on Instagram! We’ll be sharing posts from randomly selected followers who show us how they help spread awareness about brain-related issues, and use the official campaign hashtags (#BrainAwarenessWeek, #BrainWeek)!
